Description: Kids Choice has been operation since September of 2009, in cooperation with the Washington Township Board of Education. We are a State Licensed child care program. We are currently located in the gymnasiums at our locations.
Kids Choice is owned and operated by two Washington Township mothers who saw a need for a more affordable, caring environment for our children. We set out to develop a company where the parents would be completely at ease with the care provided, and that the children would be excited about coming to school for.
Kids Choice was developed to be flexible for all of our family's needs. This why when you contact us, you will speak with one of the owners, not an automated system or receptionist. We are available to you 7 days a week, not just business hours.
Kids Choice is led by two professionals, Kim Greer and Maria Arizzi. Kim has a sales, marketing, management professional background. She has also owned and operated two successful businesses in Washington Township. Kim’s partner is Maria Arizzi who has a finance and administration background.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
